Inactive NoVNC session disconnected by network appliance

@patlachance Thanks for the idea. I'll look at it.

Hello @patlachance

would you please test the new image with the hearbeat? I do not have an appropriate environment at the moment.

You can find the updated image accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3:dev-heartbeat on Docker Hub.

I've also published a temporary branch next-release on Git Hub. The CHANGELOG describes the changes. Note that the README files are not completely updated yet.

You should set the new environment variable NOVNC_HEARTBEAT by creating the container, like

docker run -e NOVNC_HEARTBEAT=30 --rm -P accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3:dev-heartbeat --debug

If starting with the parameter --debug, then there should be lines similar to these in the output:

Starting noVNC
/usr/libexec/noVNCdim/utils/novnc_proxy --vnc localhost:5901 --listen 6901 --heartbeat 30 &> /dockerstartup/novnc.log
noVNC started on TCP port '6901' with heartbeat 30 seconds

Please let me know, if it really helps. Thanks.

Regards
accetto

That's really funny. I've just found, that I've completely missed you PR! So much about doing too many things at once. I'll check your PR now and you can test my changes in a meantime. :)

@patlachance Can you confirm that it's really helping? Have you tested it?

@accetto sorry for the delay. Yes the image works as expected.
